Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper!
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

I only became aware of these a few years ago. They are gorgeous as your image shows and have become one of my favorites.

Truly beautiful rose and colour. These days so many hybrid roses have no scent to them. Great captures.

Happy to see that you rose to the occasion in this delicate macro of the demure rose, Andrea. The zoom was overwhelming in its size.

This is a lovely capture and golden color BUT I also like the soft pink version on the FlickR side! This is a double winner for sure!!!!!

You think other roses see this rose's name, and mutter, "well excuuuuuuuuuuse meeeeeee!" (Or "nyaaa nyaaa nyaaa...") The flickr shot is a big in our face bloom, dominating our visual field, and quite beautiful. This has more space around it, but is as beautiful. It's positioned beautifully in the shot; you postworked the background, again, into droplets of hue; and the deep oranges in the shadows is just beautiful. A beautiful piece, Andrea, and cropped and composed just right for the subject.
